General Note
Catharina Stjerncrona, the widow of Johan Henrich Werner, sold Werner’s printing-house to Peter Momma in March 1738. Momma also acquired the privilege to print all official publications, which had belonged to the Werner printing- house, at about the same time. Momma started a type-foundry in Stockholm and a paper mill in Harg outside Nyköping, he also developed the paper mill of the Bank of Sweden in Tumba, outside Stockholm. He started a printing-house in Nyköping, managed at least during the last years by the foreman J.B. Blume. He bought the Gymnasium printing-house in Västerås in 1740 but never managed that himself and sold it to the foreman Peter Devall, probably some time in 1741 (Klemming-Nordin says 1742 but evidence of imprints speaks for 1741). In 1746 he bought Carl Johansson Röpkes printing- house in Stockholm. He did not use his name in the Stockholm imprints after 1758. Momma printed the Swedish bank-notes for the Bank of Sweden, first in his own printing-house, later in the printing-house of the bank from 1737 until 1772. Momma was also an active publisher. He transferred his own printing-house to his son Wilhelm as of 1769. The same year he inherited L.L. Grefing’s printing-house, which he managed until some time in 1771.
